The monument is made of 1,100 tons of stony coral, which means it weighs about 2.2. million pounds. The rock features razor-sharp edges that do not make them ideal building materials.

The Coral Castle was created by Edward Leedskalnin who was born in Riga, Latvia on August 10, 1887. "He was an odd guy, but look at what he did," Llano said.

But more amazingly, Coral Castle was built entirely by one man — Latvian immigrant Ed Leedskalnin, who stood just 5 feet tall and weighed 100 pounds. To this day, no one knows how he did it.
